i i The Meridian Tribune Devoted to the Upbuilding of Meridian and Bosque County 41ST YEAR, NO. 26 MERIDIAN, TEXAS, NOVEMBER 23, 1934 PRICE $1.50 A YEAR TURKEY DEAL ONLYU CARS County Falls Short on Shipments. Eleven carloads of dressed turkeys were shipped from Bosque county to Eastern markets for the Thanksgiving demand this year, as compared with 21 carloads last year. Three cars were shipped from Meridian, three from Clifton, three from Walnut Springs and two from Iredell, which figures do not include live turkeys trucked out of the county. The Thanksgiving season closed Saturday night. The reduced shipments were indi- cative of the short crop this year, which previously was estimated at about 50 per cent. The quality of the birds marketed was very poor, due to drouth conditions. No. 2 grade birds were numerous. The usual number of dressed turkeys in a carload is 1650, but this year on account of the small size of the birds about 2050 were required. The top market price paid this...
